Today we want to highlight the Africa Soft Power Summit that took place in May this year. Our CEO Molly Jensen had the opportunity to join the summit and this is what she had to say after connecting and conversing with the professionals in Africa's creative, media, and tech industries. "ASP was an incredible gathering of exciting professionals focused on harnessing the power of creativity and culture on the continent. I felt very privileged to speak with some of the brightest minds across the media industry, including my friend Abdul, CEO of AfroFuture, on a panel for the Creative & Innovative Industries. With the growing creative and digital economies in Africa, it’s crucial for us to continue these discussions and meetings with thought leaders to harness our soft power." We cannot wait to join you for the next one!
